What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
R.A.I. Norval focuses on Ecology, Ixodidae, Amblyomma, Livestock and Zoology.
His work on Rhipicephalus appendiculatus as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Distribution, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His research combines Animal ecology and Amblyomma.
His study in Animal ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pheromone and Amblyomma variegatum.
He has researched Livestock in several fields, including Veterinary medicine and East Coast fever.
His study looks at the relationship between Zoology and fields such as Tick, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
His most cited work include:
- The epidemiology of theileriosis in Africa (391 citations)
- Geographical information systems for studying the epidemiology of cattle diseases caused by Theileria parva. (89 citations)
- Theileria parva: influence of vector, parasite and host relationships on the epidemiology of theileriosis in southern Africa. (78 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
R.A.I. Norval mainly focuses on Tick, Amblyomma, Ecology, Ixodidae and Animal ecology.
His Tick research is under the purview of Veterinary medicine.
His work in the fields of Veterinary medicine, such as East Coast fever, overlaps with other areas such as Presentation, Constraint and Economic impact analysis.
His Amblyomma research includes themes of Nymph, Amblyomma variegatum and Microbiology.
His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Livestock and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, intersects with other areas such as Distribution.
His Ixodidae research entails a greater understanding of Acari.
He most often published in these fields:
- Tick (48.78%)
- Amblyomma (48.78%)
- Ecology (41.46%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1992-1996)?
- Amblyomma (48.78%)
- Amblyomma variegatum (34.15%)
- Animal ecology (41.46%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Amblyomma, Amblyomma variegatum, Animal ecology, Ixodidae and Acaricide.
Amblyomma is a subfield of Tick that R.A.I. Norval tackles.
His Amblyomma variegatum study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pheromone and Sex pheromone.
His Animal ecology study improves the overall literature in Ecology.
His Ecology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Zoology.
The various areas that R.A.I. Norval examines in his Methyl salicylate study include Veterinary medicine and Flumethrin.
Between 1992 and 1996, his most popular works were:
- Factors affecting the distributions of the ticks Amblyomma hebraeum and A. variegatum in Zimbabwe: implications of reduced acaricide usage. (45 citations)
- Efficacy of pheromone-acaricide-impregnated tail-tag decoys for controlling the bont tick, Amblyomma hebraeum (Acari: Ixodidae), on cattle in Zimbabwe (40 citations)
- Pheromonal composition of two species of African Amblyomma ticks: similarities, differences and possible species specific components (19 citations)
